Price discounting on Sydney properties is back on the rise amid the coronavirus pandemic, new data shows, with vendors in some pockets slashing prices by six-figure sums to sell.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sellers who lowered their price expectations to sell over the past three months gave an average discount of 5.37 per cent for houses and 5.81 per cent for units, Domain figures show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is a discount of about\u00a0$62,765 on a house that hit the market at Sydney\u2019s median of $1,168,806, or a price drop of about $43,265 on a median priced unit\u00a0\u2013 at\u00a0$744,672, according to the latest\u00a0Domain House Price Report<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this, property in Sydney is not being discounted by as much as it was last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discounting rate, the difference between the advertised asking price and the sold price, was still lower than it was this time last year, Domain senior research analyst Nicola Powell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also well below the peaks reached during the market downturn with the discount rate hitting 9.05 per cent for houses and 8.63 for units in early 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
